Abstract:
An airfoil includes an airfoil body that has a peripheral wall that defines an exterior side and an interior side that bounds an internal cavity in the airfoil body. The peripheral wall has first and second wall sections joined by a transition section. The first wall section is thicker than the second wall section. The transition section provides a change in thickness between the first wall section and the second wall section. The second wall section includes a cooling hole that has a first end that opens to the internal cavity at the interior side and a second end that opens to the exterior side.
Abstract:
A casting plug for a vane of a gas turbine engine includes a plug body a flow control feature and a support that extends between the plug body and the flow control feature.
Abstract:
A cooling device for a gas turbine engine component comprises a gas turbine engine component having an upstream channel and a downstream channel that define a cooling flow path. A meter feature includes at least one hole to meter flow from the upstream channel to the downstream channel, and has an upstream side and a downstream side. An exit diffuser extends outwardly from the downstream side of the meter feature to control flow in a desired direction into the downstream channel. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes first and second walls spaced apart from one another to provide a cooling passage. First and second trip strips are respectively provided on the first and second walls and arranged to face one another. The first and second trip strips are arranged in an interleaved fashion with respect to one another in a direction.
Abstract:
A method of flowing cooling fluid through a stator vane in a gas turbine engine includes the step of providing an airfoil that has an exterior wall that provides a cooling cavity. The exterior surface has an interior surface that has multiple pin fins that extend therefrom. A baffle is arranged in the cooling cavity and supported by the pin fins. A perimeter cavity is provided between the baffle and the exterior wall. The pin fins are arranged in the perimeter cavity. Cooling fluid flows through a region in the perimeter cavity. The pin fins are arranged in the region having a low Reynolds number and through which the cooling fluid
